Dysentery
There are differences between dysentery and normal bloody diarrhoea. While diarrhoea caused by dysentery is typically of small volume, very bloody, and containing many PMNs and RBCs; normal bloody diarrhoea is more watery and may not contain any PMNs or mucus.
Signs and symptoms
In developed countries, dysentery is, in general, a mild illness, causing mild symptoms normally consisting of mild stomach pains and frequent passage of feces. Symptoms normally present themselves after one to three days and are usually no longer present after a week. The frequency of urges to defecate, the volume of feces passed, and the presence of mucus and/or blood depend on the pathogen that is causing the disease. Temporary lactose intolerance can occur, which, in the most severe cases, can last for years. In some caustic occasions, vomiting of blood, severe abdominal pain, fever, shock, and delirium can all be symptoms.
